Deptford has now become one of my favourite London walking tours! It was established as a royal naval dockyard by King Henry VIII and has seen innumerable voyages of discovery set sail over the last 350 years.
Walk the streets with Joolz where sailors trod. Walk in the footsteps of Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I!
See where the Jolly Roger pirate flag was born and where the ancient mariner is buried alongside Christopher Marlowe.
Samuel Pepys being unfaithful to his wife and the Czar of Russia, Peter the Great, being wheeled around a huge garden in a wheelbarrow!
There's also Dire Straits and Ha'penny Hatch, a beautiful piece of Victorian engineering.
Oh, and don't forget the usual helping of Mutiny on the Bounty and Mydiddee one of the first Tahitians to visit England.
See the old victualling yard and the naval officers' quarters.
Deptford is a terrific place for a walking tour with a salty sailor's theme!

![Londons City Wall and Barbican - Rather Splendid Walk
A tremendous walk around Londons rather splendid ancient city wall built by the Romans alongside the modern Barbecan centre.
We pass the panyer boy who marks the highest point in the city of London (or does he?).
Christchurch Greyfriars which was never rebuilt after the war. Watts memorial to self sacrifice, livery companies, a buried head of a king and Shakesperes house.
As usual there is a lot more with many interesting facts about London as we take a delightful walking tour around this area packed with London history.
